Have a happy 4th of July! Be Safe!
Fireworks were initially invented by the Chinese, and likely the medical protocol for missing hands from explosions
followed shortly.
In the United States July the Fourth represents the date of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, although the real date might have been July 2 depending on your legal point of view. The making of “joyous” noise and so forth slowly became a tradition, with the slow communications and independent nature of the US in the early years slowed the adoption of the fireworks and parades.
If you are going to the beach, make sure that you enter the water in a manner that allows you to check out the new environment, and all waters, except pools, are renewed everyday. I surf quite often, but I always, and I mean always do a quick wade out to check for sandbars, etc. Please do the same.
Treating burns, and helping young children get through the burn treatments is an art, why? Quite simply it is because of the inability of young children to handle painkillers during the stretching of their skin while being treated. See: Snowy game, VR goggles take burn victims' minds off of pain, this is the type of game that you could easily build using the C# Express and XNA Game Studio, unfortunately, WII and Playstation would force you to pay $10,000 for their development tools, and then pay for access to the console.
Bottom line: Be safe, have fun, celebrate Independence! no matter where you are.
